St. Mark Village sits on a well-kept property with a beautiful courtyard, green lawns, a central fountain, shaded places to sit, and walking paths where you see shuffleboard courts and an outdoor swimming pool, plenty for seniors who want to be outside and get fresh air or some light exercise, and inside, the community offers cozy apartments and single-family homes with features like comfortable beds, sitting areas, modern kitchens with granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, so everyone can find a floor plan that fits their needs. Folks who are 62 and older can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation, and there's a new rehab center for those recovering from injury, plus the Betty Fresh Rehab, Michael Bilirakis Memory Care, and Highland Lakes Assisted Living, each part set up to provide certain types of help, and the staff often get praise for being helpful, joyful, and kind, making the place feel welcoming for residents, friends, and family alike.
St. Mark Village's been part of the community for over thirty years and runs as a nonprofit, which means the focus stays on care and comfort, with a life care plan that covers a full range of services if needs change over time. The staff can help with daily needs, medical, dental, and nursing care, non-ambulatory and diabetic care, as well as high-acuity and incontinence care, and for those who stay at home, programs like Homemaker Companion and St. Mark at Home deliver non-medical help and companionship from trained aides. Each day, chefs and meal planners serve up nutritious meals, making sure to balance the right ingredients for vitamins and minerals, and dining rooms give everyone a place to gather and eat, with activities and outings always on the schedule so residents stay active mentally, socially, physically, and emotionally.
There's an onsite health clinic, sometimes called the nursing home, and a range of shared spaces like lounges, billiards area with a pool table, library nooks, salon, chapel with wooden pews and an altar, and indoor gathering spots for socializing or quiet reflection. Residents can make friends, find a place to belong, and stay supported by programs like adult day care, home health care, and wellness services-all set up to adjust to changing senior living needs. St. Mark Village also offers resources like newsletters, blogs, and guides to help folks stay well-informed, and the community's received the Best of Senior Living award for its care and support. Staff aim to create a safe, engaging, and comfortable environment, and you won't run out of things to do or people to meet here, thanks to all the amenities and a plan that allows for independent or assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehab all in one spot if those needs ever arise.
